Hi Louise, Thank you so much for the info. I did a post on the competition, and gave your post a plug on my literary blog, Love for Beginners. http://loveforbeginnersmaryoregan.blogspot.ie/I hope RTÉ publish lots of the entries and not just the winning entry. T'would be great to see some new Irish literary talent emerge from this comp. Warmest Wishes, Mary

Louise, Rich from the Manor Books event again here. (Just so you know!) I might do a post about it. (Busy Paddy's weekend though.) Thanks so much for the evening. Always great to learn new stuff. Lots to take in and use - something significant every 1K words, character and plot, all great material to apply. All very helpful. I'll let you know. Read the first 3 pages of The Doll's House. Uncanny ability to wear the research lightly while telling the story. Powerful stuff, Louise. Hat tip. Thanks so much for the signature!

The Game Changer

Irish Independent Review of LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Last Kiss is superior and takes her writing to another, more intense level - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

San Francisco Book Review - LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Phillips is certainly equal to James Patterson, Sara Paretsky, and Patricia Cornwell. LAST KISS has echoes of Basic Instincts, however Phillips takes it to much more interesting places."

Sunday Independent - Queens of the Irish Crime Scene

"Phillips is superb at suspense and at conjuring up a dark menacing atmosphere."

BBC Radio Ulster - LAST KISS

“Once you start reading, you have to keep going. Phillips deserves to be known well beyond these shores. This is not just an Irish Crime thriller-it’s among the best crime writing in the world- top notch thriller."

EURO CRIME - LAST KISS

“This book is superb! A chilling and original storyline about nature versus nurture, it has you hooked right from the very first page - It has an ending that you just can't see coming!" Highly Recommended”

IRISH TIMES - LAST KISS

"The blend of first and third-person narratives gives the story great pace...Phillips is exploring the dark matter of damaged sexual identity…. the abiding impression is of the empathy Phillips evokes on behalf of her lethal but fragile anti-heroine."

Praise for The Doll's House

‘A real page turner - Phillips’ book is laced with tension and gradually builds to a thrilling finale. What’s particularly great about the novel is the author’s fearlessness in delving into the darker recesses of the Irish capital.’
